our family is gone

Bastia.

In the majestic castle built on the mountain, the earl had a headache when he saw these things brought up.

Because what was before him now were all kinds of excuses from those nobles.

Some have relapsed old injuries, some are old and frail, and some have sons who have not yet grown up...

Anyway, there are all kinds of excuses, and some people plan to use money to request exemption from military service.

The barbarians are actually right about one thing, and that is how many of the knights in Bastia can get back on their horses and fight after being corroded by these years of comfortable life?

How many of them can charge as fearlessly as they did back then? Are they willing to leave that family business? Are you willing to let go of the woman on the bed?

You are already a noble, why do you still risk your life with those barbarians?

If you lose your courage, even holding the best weapon and putting it in a can is useless.

A border place like Bastia still faces such a big threat from the mountain barbarians. If it is corrupted because of these years of stability, I don't know how much it will cost to regain a foothold.

The last time was Hamlet's split. He had seen this kind of thing personally and felt how cruel it was.

Fortunately, there are still some petitions among these messy excuses. Some knights are eager to establish merits like their fathers, and some are second sons who have no inheritance rights and want to obtain their own territory through war.

Bastia's men are not all weaklings, which is a great comfort to the count.

At the same time, the knights he spent huge sums of money to cultivate from an early age still maintain their fighting strength. This is because he anticipated today's situation and made plans that played a big role.

However, the Knights can still gain an advantage in today's small-scale battles. Once placed in a large-scale battle, they will only be regarded as a small number of elites. The main body of the real army is the big soldiers.

As for the battle reports from the frontline training, these recruits suffered heavy casualties in the confrontation with the barbarians. You must know that this was based on fortification defense such as camps, not a field battle.

Part of this is because these recruited serf soldiers have no combat experience and are seeing blood for the first time.

But part of the reason is that the barbarians who were mercenaries took away the tactical cooperation between the mercenaries when they returned, as well as the weapons and equipment.

In order to push the barbarians from the mountains to Hamlet, he let go of the mercenaries, but now he is letting go.

But these can only be considered small things, and the big ones are yet to come.

Bruce led the battle from the front. He managed and dispatched various supplies from the rear, and then discovered that the armaments could not keep up. The newly recruited soldiers may not even be equipped with spears, not to mention armor, bows and crossbows.

But the earl has always planned to stockpile these military supplies, and checks them every year. This should not happen.

Later, after further investigation, I found out that this was a big pit that even the earl was frightened by.

The armaments in the warehouse have been flowed out through different channels. Now there is only a pile of garbage left in the warehouse, or only empty numbers on the account.

You must know that Bastia monopolized the [Mountains-Empire] trade route and prospered trade, which in turn created the need for guards. This is also the main reason for the existence of barbarian mercenaries. At the same time, the prosperity of the mercenary market and the supporting weapons and equipment market have also been Get motivated.

There has been no war all year round, so guarding such a fortune is naturally exciting.

Maybe it was just petty theft at the beginning, but the huge profits soon corroded the entire chain, and everything collapsed.

At the beginning, the customized equipment was put into storage at least for a pretense, but later it was simply put into storage in vain, that is, an entry was made in the ledger, and the equipment was sold as soon as it left the factory.

What's even more exaggerated is that they are all ordered before they leave the factory. They sell as many as they come out, and there is no warehouse at all.

When it comes to inspection, they will pass it off as good quality and fill the warehouse with equipment that should have been eliminated and discarded.

And some move here and there, from this warehouse to here to complete the inspection, and when it is their turn to move to the next one, they will be sold directly after completion.

These are just a few appearances, and some are just void inspections. The inspections were completed at banquets, at the wine table, and in bed, without even going to the warehouse.

Everyone on this line has taken money, so how can they find out anything?

Even if there are really unscrupulous people, we can arrange all kinds of coercion and inducement to pull them into the water. If they are really stubborn, they will be dealt with directly. Is it strange that a few people died in this era? No one is an opponent of huge interests.

In previous years, even if the Count personally inspected the equipment, those people would still be able to collect a batch of intact equipment in a short period of time to complete the inspection. When it was over, the equipment would be returned to their real owners.

I'm afraid the earl also didn't expect that the money he spent and the things stored in his warehouse were not his.

Now that the earl knows about this, someone will naturally be in trouble. The personal guards even sent out to blockade the city, causing a lot of chaos. Many people that day thought that the barbarians were coming.

Beheading, confiscating homes, and confiscating troops, the count quickly handled the matter with absolute control over Bastia.

Thousands of people were arrested, including many nobles, and it was their support that made these people so unscrupulous.

However, this incident also allowed the count to obtain a large amount of funds for the subsequent war. At the same time, these prisoners who were sent to the army also filled the gap of the rapid loss of serf soldiers. Women were sold as slaves or sent to brothels. .

But the problem is that once the equipment is gone, it is gone. It has been transported to other places through various channels, and a lot of it has flowed into the mountains.

In other words, the barbarian soldiers put on the equipment that originally belonged to Bastia soldiers, and at first glance they were even neater than them. Who are the soldiers of the count?

And what about those serf soldiers?

He was holding a piece of junk that should have been thrown into the trash can many years ago. The tip of the spear was almost rusted into rotten iron, and the handle of the spear had long been eaten by insects.

There are basically only a few of the crossbows that can be found that are usable. They break when pulled, and there are consumables such as arrows, which makes it even more serious.

Fortunately, the earl had many active troops all year round in order to defend against the barbarians. Those who did not dare to go too far with this part of the equipment still retained the main combat power.

However, the equipment gap for recruits is very large. Now everyone knows what the blacksmith's production capacity is, and the one that stands out is a handmade immortal.

Even if it is hit by sparks, it will not be enough for even a year and a half.

"Then let them feel what it's like to have no weapons."

The earl yelled this sentence fiercely. Those guys who joined the army had no equipment, so they were left to fight with the barbarians. Basically, the line-filling babies were not counted, they were just left to die.

Because even if there are weapons and armor, priority should be given to equipping those conscripted soldiers.

In order to alleviate this problem, the count directly asked the soldiers to bring their own equipment.

Bringing your own dry food is ridiculous, because the price of equipment in Bastia has soared, and ordinary people can't buy anything even if they lose their money, but they still have a wooden stick and a wooden shield.

But even so, the situation in the battle report is still not optimistic.

The entire territory is bleeding, and a large number of bereaved family members are wailing every day, but unfortunately no one can hear it.

Those serf soldiers recruited by the earl did not have the treatment of Hamlet's professional soldiers. They even had to bring their own food and equipment. You can imagine what the situation would be like.

There were no weapons and equipment, no wages, and not even a full meal, let alone meat.

They usually do not train but do a lot of labor. When the strong barbarian warriors with well-equipped weapons come to kill them, they have to drag their thin and tired bodies to fight against the lack of weapons and equipment.

Can not many people die?

The dead still want compensation?

You untouchables are delaying the battle and letting the barbarians attack. It's better if the count doesn't ask you to collect money.

But the interesting thing is that it didn't even collapse, and the entire Bastia was still under the control of the count.

Because information is blocked, not many people know the exact casualties. Even the soldiers on the front line don't know, let alone those mud-legged people.

There is also public opinion building, exaggerating how evil the barbarians are, building a terrifying enemy to unite themselves, and telling them how great the count is who resisted the barbarian attack.

Once that fanatical restlessness is stirred up, all opposing voices will be suppressed.

Of course, the arrest of those corrupt people also allowed everyone to vent some of their emotions.

It's not that the count can't win, it's all because of these people.

Hello Earl.

Bureaucrats are bad.

In fact, the more fundamental thing is that this has been the normal situation for thousands of years. The people have obeyed such rule, and cruelty and despair are the tone of this world.

Hamlet's treatment was completely out of line with the times and was supported by Lance's personal charm and gold coins.

But there is no other way. If you want to deal with those monsters and monsters, you must have these elite soldiers who have no worries and dare to fight to the death.

If they really manage the army like Count Bastia, they will probably disperse immediately when encountering monsters.

Patton's defeat that year is the best proof. The army from Totnes was equipped with the most advanced artillery, but it still collapsed at the first touch.

But there are very few people who can understand Lance, and even if they understand, probably no one is willing to follow him.

For these noble lords, if they die, they can be recruited again. The more they die, the more elite soldiers they will be screened out.

Anyway, that's what the count thought, and he signed another conscription document, pushing those unprepared young people onto the battlefield.

So many years of stability have led to the current situation. Count Bastia restarted the war. He probably wanted to rebuild Bastia's combat power through a big war while he was still there, and at the same time defeat the mountain barbarians. years of accumulation.

If Bruce wants to control Bastia, he must control the knights. It's okay if he is here, but if he is not there, those people may not be obedient.

Now he forces them to go to the battlefield, and at the same time improves his son's record, and can also eliminate some of the useless fiefdom knights through war.

If there is still bravery, it can be used, but it is best if the knights who have been disabled are dead. If the father dies, drag the son up. Only those who survive can be qualified to inherit the territory.

Bastia's territory is now a carrot and a pit. How can their cronies of Immortal Bruce get the fief? There must be rewards for victory in the war, otherwise who will risk their lives for you?

If his cronies cannot control enough territory, the nobles of Bastia may not listen to him.

The count's ambition was so great that even Bastia could not contain it.

Bastia is mountainous, and food is a big factor that limits him, but Hamlet is a large plain with fertile land and access to the sea.

This is a fatal temptation for him. After taking down Hamlet, he can sit back and watch the emperor and the rebels fight to the death to weaken each other. Even if he cannot become the emperor, he can still occupy a corner of the empire and pursue great achievements.

Whether it was for his obsession back then or for other reasons, he wanted to win Hamlet.

But he was old and no longer the imperial tiger who led the knights to charge against the barbarian coalition and even defeated them in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Bruce showed that he was not inferior to him, and even stronger than him through the accumulation of resources.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper came in to announce.

"Sir, Francis is back and has brought back Baron Lawrence and members of the Knights, but..."

After finally hearing the good news, the Earl couldn't help but smile. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face suddenly stiffened and he urged in a deep voice.

"Say!"

"They were almost expelled as refugees when they entered the city..." The housekeeper briefly described the mess they looked like when they came back. He almost thought they were refugees, but who knew they were the Knights.

"Let Francis come in and see me." The Earl was calm and did not make any big nonsense about this situation.

Soon Francis, a fat man, walked in. He looked like he had lost the wealthy businessman attitude he had when he went there, and his face had become thinner.

When I went there, I took a carriage, ate hot pot and sang songs, but I was immediately robbed.

He came back just as he was leaving, eating black bread. For him, he had never done so much exercise in the first half of his life.

Why is he so embarrassed...

"What happened?"

The fact that the count met Francis first is enough to show that he trusts him more. After all, they need to rely on their own protection to survive in Bastia, and Lawrence is already a loser.

"Then Hamlet's people are bandits, worse than bandits! They were robbed by us on the way, and they were arrested and imprisoned for several days..." Francis began to cry directly about his experience.

It's just that he knows better than anyone else what he can and can't say.

"After giving us a slap on the wrist, he released us and Baron Lawrence. He also said that he wanted a ransom of 20,000 yuan, and asked us to exchange the money for the weapons and equipment and the Alvin Knight."

Lance would be surprised if he were here, because he originally quoted a ransom of 10,000 yuan, but he didn't expect the fat man to double it, and the price of the weapons and equipment was triple the market price.

Lance promised to give him 10% of the ransom for the equipment. He really worked hard and was worthy of being a businessman.

Even the earl's character couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this. Judging from his calm appearance, he didn't seem to be angry because of this.

But Francis is really not afraid that the count will not agree.

The reason is simple. Francis has already heard about the current situation in Bastia when he came back. You are short of soldiers and even more equipment. Isn't this a problem for you?

The bones must be knocked hard and the marrow sucked out! Otherwise, how can I retaliate against you for treating me like a dog for so many years?

Francis' confidence lies in Lance's arrangement. The seizure of Alvin and the ransom for equipment are too harsh. The Earl must agree, otherwise these knights have no equipment and are just stronger soldiers, unable to exert their true combat effectiveness.

You must know that even if a skilled blacksmith is paired with two apprentices as a team, it will take a team of people half a month to complete a set of qualified knight armor.

Especially now that the barbarian temptations are getting stronger and the situation becomes more urgent, there is no time to wait any longer.

Francis also understood that Bastia was no longer safe and had to find a way to escape before a fight broke out.

"Go and prepare. Disguise yourself as a caravan and go to Hamlet to retrieve the horses and equipment as soon as possible." The Count took a long breath and waved his hand.

To be honest, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem now. He still has a lot of savings after controlling Bastia for so many years, not to mention that he just ransacked his house and killed a bunch of fat pigs.

What's more, in his eyes, Hamlet is always in his pocket. It's best to numb them with money. The money will eventually return to his hands in the future.

Francis withdrew, and another member of the Knights was called over.

After all, Alvin is still his son, not to mention that he himself is the second son to rise up, so he has unique expectations for Alvin, otherwise he would not make this arrangement.

It seemed that he was thrown up, but in fact, several personal guards were arranged among the knights to protect Alvin at any time, and now naturally he needed to know more detailed information.

"Tell me everything, exactly."

This knight doesn't look young anymore, but when he thinks of what happened to Hamlet, he still feels an unspeakable pressure that bends his spine.

Following the order, they drove the barbarian team in under the leadership of Alvin and Lawrence, and then...

What Lin Xian had personally experienced was naturally more detailed than what Laura had said at the time, and with this, the Earl could also find out Hamlet's true situation.

The eagles were indeed killed by the barbarians, and only one who came to deliver the message happened to escape by mistake, which also confirmed Laura's words.

But what shocked the earls was that the "people" of the outlying towns spontaneously supported Hamlet, and no one escaped in the bloody battle.

Later, they experienced many similar attacks. They shouted the name of Hamlet and attacked the knights, stalling their pace.

Due to pre-battle exhaustion, injuries to the horses, harsh environment, breaking into traps prepared by the enemy, and being shot by muskets, all kinds of messy reasons combined together to finally lead to failure and capture.

He spoke with great indignation, and that unwilling humiliation burst out at this moment.

But if there are people who actually experienced the first battle, they will find that many inexplicable reasons do not exist at all. They just rushed out of the forest and charged into the confrontation.

The reason why he said this was not that he was also Lance's undercover, but that was what he thought in his heart.

As for why it became like this, we have to start talking about it after the end of that battle.

Lance is a master of psychological warfare. No one knows the arrogance of these knights better than him. Although they lost to Hamlet's cavalry, they certainly refused to admit defeat. In fact, if Lance hadn't turned on the [Flesh and Flesh Reconstruction] behind them, the cavalry put together really wouldn't be able to defeat them. This was a fact.

So after Lance rescued the people, he kept instilling in them that it was because those people kept consuming them that they finally defeated them.

This kind of excuse that fits their thoughts slowly integrated into their minds, and they even imagined some plots that did not exist at the time.

Let them feel from the bottom of their hearts that they did not lose because of the consumption before the war. This was an unfair duel.

"Who made the decision! What does Lawrence do for food? Don't you know that the most important thing in a cavalry duel is horse power? Why did the soldiers go up there before their physical strength has recovered?" The Earl frowned and his breathing became a little heavier.

There is no way, he started out as a knight, and he is particularly concerned about this aspect, otherwise the general territory would not form a separate knight order, and there would be three.

This was a fucking slap in the face.

Seeing this situation, the knight hesitated before speaking out.

"It was Knight Alvin who made the decision, and Baron Lawrence also advised him. Everyone has heard this."

The reason why he gained the earl's trust was because he was upright and had no scheming ideas.

But these words immediately silenced the earl.

"Because at that time, I saw the opponent's cavalry forming a team from a distance, and I wanted to take the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop. I didn't expect it to be a trap."

The knight wanted to explain in detail, but the count couldn't listen any more and quickly asked about another matter.

"Who surrendered first? Alvin or Lawrence?"

The Earl still couldn't figure it out, why the hell did you have a knighthood of fifty, and how could more than forty of you be captured?

It is definitely the surrender of the leader that will lead to the surrender of the organization. After all, how can those cavalry without lances and full armor not be able to defeat the fully armed knights?

Even if he loses for various reasons, it is impossible to survive so much. Do you really think that he has never been on the battlefield?

"None of us surrendered, but all of us fought to the death and were captured after exhaustion. As for Baron Lawrence, he fought until the last moment until he was seriously injured and lost consciousness. All of us can prove this."

As he spoke, the knight opened the simple clothes, revealing several scars underneath, which had obviously healed not long ago, and some more serious injuries were still wrapped with bandages.

"We were able to survive because after the battle, those who cleaned the battlefield did not kill us, but gave us first aid. Then we went through a long period of treatment, but some of the lightly wounded were captured by them after they recovered. It’s hard work.”

In fact, it was because they were fully armored, and ordinary attacks could not break through the armor and cause fatal injuries, nor did they have the effect of severing limbs, so there were many injuries, large and small, but they were all flesh injuries.

What's more direct is that Lance hangs their lives. After all, it's all money.

Wounds don't lie, and the earl is not so stupid that he needs to vent his emotions on these people.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a good rest."

After sending the people away, the Earl called some more people, and their descriptions were pretty much the same. Combining these, he could also get a glimpse of Hamlet's difficulty, but he also saw Alvin rushing in to bury the knights.

But Lawrence’s situation…

"How is Baron Lawrence doing? Did he tell you anything along the way?"

The Earl is also a veteran. It is understandable that high-level officials like Lawrence and Alvin are being held in solitary confinement, but he still wants to know what happened?

"The Baron's condition has deteriorated a lot. He was also taciturn along the way. He didn't show any special performance."

"Did he come back with you? Did he go back to his barony before entering Bastia?"

"No, they all followed us all the way back."

"Okay, you go out and rest first. I believe this setback cannot defeat the knights of Bastia."

After sending the people away, the Earl fell into thinking. Lawrence now had a very troublesome situation. It didn't mean that he was captured, but that his daughter was missing.

With his only heir missing at this time, the Count had to consider political factors.

Don't blame Lance and Lawrence for their vicious suspicions about the Earl in the nursing home, because he knew about it at the time and really wanted to seize Lawrence's territory.

But the sudden emergence of a major arms corruption case dragged his attention away. Now that Lawrence is back, should he take action?

After losing the war and being captured, he shouldered all the responsibility. At the same time, because his daughter was missing, it was normal for Baron Lawrence to commit suicide because he could not bear the pressure.

It's just that there are many smart people. Bastia has just experienced this major arms case, and all the noble knights have become nervous.

Why do so many requests for help suddenly appear?

It was those nobles who were giving him eye drops, because the count was too harsh this time, making them feel a sense of crisis.

One can imagine the administrative efficiency under the imperial aristocratic system. The count relied on the support of the fiefdom knights to control Bastia.

The Earl looks down on ordinary people. They mow the grass without causing trouble because of the existence of these people.

In the eyes of these nobles, your position as Earl is the result of brothers fighting together. No one has any objection to you making so much money by controlling the caravan. Aren't they just greedy for money? You kill people and ransack your homes. This is too much. .

There is actually no clear superior-subordinate relationship between them. They rely on the binding of interests and strength. The earl's previous actions made other nobles suspicious.

It is suspected that he took the opportunity to seize the money and territory of those nobles because of the barbarian invasion. If Lawrence is touched now, it may cause greater turmoil. Everyone will be wary of him, causing Bastia to fall into internal strife.

At least his recruitment of new soldiers will be affected, and at the same time, those knights may not respond to the call. It would not be surprising if a civil war similar to the current one in the empire is forced.

Normally the earl would have taken action directly, but the barbarians attacked out of nowhere. It was best to stay calm amid internal and external troubles.

"Please come here, Baron Laurence."

The butler waiting outside the door quickly brought Lawrence over. He also looked thin, but not out of shape, but he didn't look like he was sitting on a horse charging at all.

When the count saw him, he also felt that Lawrence's spirit seemed to have been knocked out of him, and the threat level was greatly reduced in his heart.

He actually got up in person to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Alas...I feel ashamed of your trust..."

"Stop talking, I already know it. It was this guy Alvin who brought the Knights to failure. You have done your best."

The two chatted for a while, and the count finally spoke about the incident.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect your daughter and Margaret disappeared."

"what!"

Lawrence's state changed instantly, and the showdown between the two movie stars had just begun.

…………

Misty mountains.

The huge harvest of the Langya Tribe stimulated other barbarian tribes. The count's mistake was that he misestimated the greed of the bureaucrats and overestimated the combat effectiveness of the new recruits. At the same time, he did not expect that those barbarians were stubborn.

Or maybe the wise elders of the barbarians are not stupid at all. They know that if they don't take Bastia, no matter how much they grab, it will only be for the earl, so they just fight against Bastia and have no interest in going over to find Hamlet. trouble.

They changed their strategy. After the barbarians suffered the last severe beating, they also understood that the strength of a single tribe could easily be defeated by Bastia, so they had to unite.

Because of the mercenaries, I learned the tactics of the empire and the situation of the imperial army. I also bribed the caravans or bureaucrats to obtain equipment, and now I finally use it.

Bastia's new recruits need time to adapt and arm themselves.

But the barbarians are all warriors who have seen blood and can fight on the battlefield.

When everyone's tactics were similar and the equipment was the advantage of the barbarians, the blow to Bastia was very heavy.

Originally they were pretending to be a failure to lure the enemy deeper, but now it turned out to be a real failure. Except for the knights, they didn't dare to go out to fight in the field. Most of them could only stick to the camp.

However, the number of knights was too small and they did not pose a threat to the barbarian coalition. At that time, the earl thought it was because of how powerful he was, but in fact, he just happened to hit Hamlet's collapse and took the opportunity to reap the benefits.

While Count Bastia was having a headache facing various emerging problems, the tribal coalition forces were celebrating the victory of another battle.

The strong bonfire reflected the carnival feast, and the wooden tables were filled with all kinds of food and wine. This was a testament to their bravery, because they had all been snatched back.

They ate meat, raised their wine glasses high, shouted and boasted about how many people they had killed, and laughed loudly at the weakness of the Bastia soldiers.

The brave young man will be loved by more women, dance feverishly on the bonfire, and enjoy the eyes from all sides.

But corresponding to this are the women and children who were tied up and locked in wooden cages. The adult men were killed or became sacrifices, and the rest naturally became trophies and were taken into the mountains.

The carnival in front of them did not belong to them, but fear shrouded their hearts. They did not dare to cry and could only sob in low voices and burst into tears.

From time to time, women were dragged away, and no one knew what happened. The remaining people could only huddle in the corner, praying in their hearts that they would not be next.

On the other side, there is no restlessness outside among the buildings with obvious tribal style. This is where the leaders gather.

This victory made them full of confidence, directly destroying Bastia's undefeated myth. Suddenly they realized that you are so good?

The average life span of the barbarians is shorter than that of the empire. Many of the new generation have not even experienced the war of that year. They all heard about it from the older generation. Now the ambitions that have been suppressed for many years have gradually expanded.

They are currently discussing their next move. Some want to plunder, while others want to confront the army...

In fact, this kind of alliance is also very fragile. Basically, a few large tribes make the decision. The other small tribes basically have no decision-making power, so they just follow the others and fight together, and then the big boss eats the meat and they drink the soup.

What unites them now is interests other than the common enemy of the count.

So everyone has the same desire, which is to go deep and plunder.

But at this time, the tribe ushered in a long-lost person-Boslake.

There were six more people together, that is, the dozen or so people, and this was the only one who could come back in the end.

Seeing Boslake's embarrassed appearance, some people remembered the mercenary team that had disappeared before. They thought they had been wiped out by the count, but they didn't expect to come back.

Those people also wanted to scold Boslake for his failure, because they all wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of those conditions and devour the remnants.

But faster than them, Boslake had already spoken first.

"Don't go deep! This is a trap, created by the Langya tribe in collusion with the count."

He broke into the venue and suddenly said this, which immediately made everyone confused.

The elders and wise men couldn't help but look at each other for a while, and some of them had a somewhat contemptuous look, thinking that he was making excuses for his failure.

How can you lose an army as bad as Bastia? They are indeed a bunch of trash.

Boslake knew the character of these guys better than anyone else, and knew that he could not wait for them to ask, he had to show it himself, and immediately opened his mouth to explain what they had experienced during this period.

Heading to the harassment position, they were charged by cavalry, and then accidentally entered another territory, where they found a huge convoy, but they originally had an advantage during the confrontation with it.

But those people were just preoccupied with robbing, were led into a trap, and most of them were killed in the end. Only a dozen of them escaped under his cover.

"What do you mean by this? Are you being chased by those knights and running away like wild dogs? Or are you actually defeated by a convoy?"

The sarcastic words are very direct and can even be called insults, and this is their normal style.

Boslake did not get angry at this, but continued.

"After our failure, we did not flee, but continued to attack the convoy. But it was this decision that made us see the horrific scene, so we knew it was a conspiracy."

But at this climax, Boslake suddenly stopped, making everyone who was waiting to listen feel angry.

If you leave it in suspense, go on. What does it mean to say half of it?

In fact, everyone also understood that this was Boslake expressing dissatisfaction. People in the big tribes could not help but bow their heads, but those in the small tribes did not have this psychological pressure.

Although they were happy to see those guys misfortune, they were now even more curious about what happened, and quickly comforted and urged them.

Boslake knew that those guys couldn't bow their heads. He was just expressing his dissatisfaction, nothing more, so he continued speaking.

"Because the capture of the knights was entirely a trick of the count. There was no such thing. We met the knights and even watched them strangle a powerful convoy in a short time. Later, we were chased by the eagles and escaped. Come out."

Boslake begins with this, briefly describing the battle that took place on Hamlet's old road.

They had already fought against the guards of that noble convoy, but now they were being massacred before their eyes.

"Can I still not know the specifications of the Bastia Knights? Although I didn't put up a flag to hide anything, it is definitely them.

And only Bastia's army will have eagles nearby. If you don't believe it, you can ask others. "

If Lance heard this, he would probably laugh. Bastia's knights were captured and some of their equipment was replaced. Could it be different?

Sure enough, several others who escaped also expressed their determination.

"I guess the earl wanted to show weakness. Whether it was the accident of the knights or the weakness of the army, it was just to lure us deeper. In fact, the real elite had already laid an ambush, but we accidentally broke through.

We can hold the knights back in the mountains, but in the flatlands deep inside, who of you is sure to withstand the charge of the knights? "

This news was also quite shocking to those people, and it dispersed the joy that originally enveloped them.

Some people even felt a little cold on their backs. If they were really right, it would be dangerous.

"Then why do you say that the Langya tribe colludes?"

"Why didn't the Wolf Fang tribe participate? And have you heard anything about them recently?"

Boslake did a little investigation when he came back, and the strangeness of the Wolf Fang tribe further explained the problem.

At this time, he directly made violent remarks.

"War Wolf took away the elite members of the Wolf Fang tribe in order to hunt down the Deer Head Priest, but these people were defeated in Bastia, and War Wolf died long ago.

After losing the Wolf Warriors and a large number of elites, the Langya tribe knew that they would definitely be targeted by everyone, so they cooperated with the count. As long as we weakened them, they would become better. "

Except for those high-level officials and a small number of people, others did not know what happened that night. Anyway, Bastia's attack was slow, and its tactics became very cautious, sending out various reconnaissance methods to tend to the defense.

At the same time, an elite team was dispatched to the headquarters of the Wolf Fang tribe. Unsurprisingly, Boslake was among this team, holding his bow and arrow tightly and preparing for revenge.

Regardless of whether the Langya tribe really colluded with the count, but no one wanted to leave this scourge behind, it had to be the case.

Because after everyone analyzed it for a long time, it seemed that Wolf Warrior had really been quiet for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a child to show up at that time. There was really no one around.

Even if you don't have any grudges, you don't mind sharing a piece of the pie. After all, Langya has plundered so many small tribes and there are definitely good things hidden there.

Similarly, only a small number of people knew about the operation against Langya. Many of the elite soldiers who had been summoned did not know about the operation until halfway. At first, they were confused as to why they were heading towards the mountains.

The task of the team was to test the reality of the Wolf Fang tribe, but no one knew what happened to this elite group. Some of the soldiers who escaped three days later could not even describe the twisted nightmare and only shouted one sentence.

"Run away! Run away! Escape from the mountains... They are no longer human!"

A disaster occurred in the mountains...

Some people don't like to read the branch plots, so I'll put them together. I originally wanted to write about the Wolf Fang tribe in detail, but I'll leave it in suspense...
